Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.
No closing date published. This funder sets its closing date per country, or opens the call only when the cycle begins. Send us your documents and we will apply the moment your country’s window opens.
Who can apply
Pakistan and Bangladesh yes (Australia Awards - South Asia & Mongolia: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Mongolia). India and the Gulf (UAE/Qatar/Saudi Arabia/Oman) are not participating countries.
What the award is
Australian Government (DFAT) awards to study in Australia, open to nationals of participating countries; Pakistan is included in the Australia Awards - South Asia & Mongolia round. The official page lists full tuition fees, return airfares, a contribution to living expenses and medical insurance as benefits. Applications for the next intake reopen in early 2027 (most country rounds close around 30 April), so no closing date is posted yet. Official source: https://australiaawardssouthasiamongolia.org/scholarships/ (checked 29 October 2026).Where these dates came from
Blank because the 2027-intake round is already shut: the DFAT regional site states "Applications are now closed" and "Applications for Australia Awards Scholarships will reopen in early 2027", with the annual rule "Applications ... open on 1 February and close on 30 April each year" - so the 2027 round closed 30 April 2026 and no 2028-intake date has been published yet. dfat.gov.au itself refused connection from here, so the dates were read off DFAT's official Australia Awards South Asia & Mongolia site - https://australiaawardssouthasiamongolia.org/scholarships/ (checked 30 October 2026)
